The Alberta Railway Museum

A number of "behind the scenes" upgrades have been installed for the Alberta Railway Museum website. The upgrades enhance the security of the site, fix some bugs and should make the user experience a little snappier as well.

If you notice anything acting weird, please email the museum (using the link on the righthand side of the page) to let us know.

Thanks!

The Honourable Norman Kwong, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, has been our Honorary Patron for the length of his appointment to the position. A new Lieutenant Governor, Col. Donald Ethell has been appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.  Col. Ethell will be asked to become our Honorary Patron.

Premier Ed Stelmach welcomed the appointment of Col. Donald Ethell as Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor designate.

“I’m pleased to welcome Col. Ethell as Alberta’s next Lieutenant Governor,” said Premier Stelmach. “Col. Ethell has had a long and distinguished career as one of Canada’s most decorated and experienced peacekeepers, for which he was honoured in 2001 with the Alberta Order of Excellence. I’m confident that Col. Ethell will serve Albertans well in his new role.”
